I see a dozen comments here, all critiquing their proposal. Surely this is April Fools? > I'm sorry, but what the fuck? Just writing the blog posts alone might have consumed more work-hours than what it would have taken to set a database up in the first place. > Using a text file and using etcd as a DB for a production system seems like a terrible engineering decision. It seems like something you'd do as a proof of concept or side project. It's interesting that they're blogging about this, as if they're proud of it. > This is their 3rd DB Migration, something that I prefer to avoid at all costs. I guess they have different priorities and values. But I'm just confused, why would an engineer want to join a company that is making these decisions?
